Subject: [PATCH] libceph: fix overflow check in crush_decode()
Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2012 11:55:48 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1329411348-13456-1-git-send-email-xi.wang@gmail.com> (raw)

The existing overflow check (n > ULONG_MAX / b) didn't work, because
n = ULONG_MAX / b would both bypass the check and still overflow the
allocation size a + n * b.

The correct check should be (n > (ULONG_MAX - a) / b).
